Q: What are your thoughts about the transition from Vice President to President?

A: I am proud that Malawi had a peaceful and smooth transition of power after President Mutharika’s death. The Constitution was very clear, and I had no question that my job was to uphold the Constitution. This is a great opportunity to create positive change for the people of Malawi. I am confident that together we will make Malawi strong. As President, I believe it is a moral imperative to do all I can to improve the health, education and economic status of all Malawi’s citizens.
